Abstract With the rapid urban development, efficiency and social equity in traffic planning have raised increasing attention among scholars in different fields. Existing research have been conducted from a single perspective, while the integrated theoretical framework for quantifying the relationship between equity and service effectiveness (SEV) of public transport has rarely been established. In this study, the Chinese metropolis-Shanghai, was used as an example to explore the relationship between the equity and SEV of public transport from the supply and demand perspective. The research methodology incorporated the use of the Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient, Gap analysis, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model, and spatial overlay analysis. The discovery is that most of the undersupply, supply-demand matching, and ineffectiveness areas were found in Shanghai's inner and outer suburbs. Public transport in the inner core and border areas was generally characterized by oversupply and a mixture of high and ineffectiveness. Overall, it is challenging to balance equity and SEV. This study can aid policy makers in achieving a balance between SEV and equity in transit planning, to improve transport SEV, and to promote a greater equity of transport opportunities among disadvantaged groups.

    Highlights Construct a comprehensive model that considers both spatial equity and SEV of public transport. Assess the spatial inconsistencies of equity and SEV in public transport from the perspective of supply and demand Six spatial Equity-SEV patterns and the areas of concern were identified. Most of the undersupply and service ineffectiveness areas were found in inner and outer suburbs.
